Gas Leak.

[yo1]

Just thought id ask, was doing a TT that showed up a 3 mbar drop in pressure. Isolated the boiler and still dropped, then traced the leak using gas sniffer and found it on a threaded fitting below the hob.
Any ideas if anything would need to to be done as I found were the leak was coming from, but it was within the tolerance and no smell of gas and on pipe work so I think its fine to leave it on for the owners to to deal with getting it repaired.

I see from one of your earlier posts Yo1 that you claim you are self employed and you earn between 35-40k a year, I also see that you claim you do alot of gas safety certificates. How can you confirm these places are safe ?

You get them everywhere mate. The problem is that they don't last long at firms and then have no other option but to go self employed. Then they have no back-up like you would on the books and have no QC watching them and pointing out wrongs. Then they can just carry out work as they like with no one checking them. And lets face it the customer is none the wiser, you could leave an ID in a property and they would not notice its only when someone else comes along and notices it that it gets picked up.

The only time a customer would know something is wrong would be if they smelt gas.

I think sometimes all these people need is a bit of retraining and they would be ok

"I think sometimes all these people need is a bit of retraining and they would be ok"

Dont we do this already ?

Im getting fed up with it, City & Guilds worth nothing now after 25 years. Acs have been taken 3 times and soon to come again.

However guys posting with questions like this prove to the powers that be, that retraining maybe required for some and the only way to police it is to make it compulsory for all.

Off my soapbox for now.

Kev.
